Guns

Among the many bad things about the US, I think the worst is guns being legal. Thanks to the 2nd amendment, any normal or (more worryingly) abnormal person can possess a gun. The crazy guy who killed so many people in Virginia Tech couldn't have killed that many if not for a gun. He would have been stopped long before he could have killed that many. It wouldn’t have been as easy to walk in to an apartment and kill two students as someone did yesterday. Gun shots are so ridiculously common. You keep hearing about them all the time. There are a lot of weird people here. To let them carry guns is to allow yourself to be killed. It was just last week that I was debating with my friends on the most important invention in history. That is always debatable but I'm sure the most unnecessary one is the gun.

I agree that guns are unnecessary. Unlike a knife which has uses other than killing people, a gun is designed for killing people. That said, if guns become illegal, the really bad people who would use guns would still get them illegally, and law-abiding citizens would be left defenseless. Look at illegal drugs, the criminals still get them into the US, and this would probably be the case with guns. If they were going to make guns illegal, killers probably wouldn't be able kill as quickly as with guns, but the really determined ones would kill with other methods. It's like a phrase one of my frieds introduced me to: guns don't kill people, people kill people.

(It would definitely lower accidental deaths by gun though.)
